When peaceful protest changed history:
Selma, 1965: Peaceful marchers were met with brutal force. The nation watched - and the Voting Rights Act followed.
Standing Rock, 2016: Protesters against the Dakota Access Pipeline were attacked - but they delayed construction, cost corporations billions, and set a precedent for Indigenous resistance.
Poland, 2020: Women filled the streets against abortion bans. Despite crackdowns, their movement forced legal shifts and global attention.
